subject: 3 Keys Motivated People Have So They Can Do Great Things While Others Watch In Awe [print this page] Key 1 Motivated people have a lot of Discipline
No one ever written a best selling 400 page book of fiction without discipline. Whatever you like to say about the best selling author, one thing is clear, he wrote 10 pages a day for 40 days and spent the next year editing the book about ten times and found a good publisher.
You don't become a published author by a major publisher without good discipline. Sure you may have written a 400 page novel and you may think yours it better than most you have read, but if you have not sent it to 200 publishers trying to have it picked out, your lack of discipline may be what separates you from the one you despise.
You cannot write 500 articles on Ezine articles without attention to detail and the weekly sitting down and writing them according to the very strict rules.

Key 2 Motivated people have Staying Power
It is easy to play football or any sport for one season. It is harder to play long enough to get the skill to be picked into the A grade and play on TV and earn good money. Harder still, to play at the top of your game as you get older an older.
Any great boxer can get into the ring with the world champion. Only a person with a very strong mind can stay for 15 rounds in a boxing match. They say 20% of boxing is in the mind and 80% is fitness. However when all the training has been done and you are in the fight, it is 20% training and 80% of the power of your mind that wins a fight.
This means if you are good enough to fight the world champion you have to be equal in the mind with the top fighter you face. If you can stay in the fight no matter what he throws at you, you have chance of staying and beating with him.
Anyone can claim to be success in the good times, but quit when hard times come. Its the ability to press on and keep on going forward when all hell is coming against you, its sheer staying power when the odds are stacked against you, that makes you stand out from the rest..
A prophecy off God spoke of my always giving and not getting back that I received today. It is in italics below:
"Matt, I see a heart and enclosed in the heart is human beings and this heart belongs to you. For your heart is big, my son says the Lord. You always gave but not always received says the Lord. My child I shall open doors and many shall see the compassion in your heart says the Lord. For truly your heart is in the right place says the Lord. I shall begin to remove every thorn and thought that exalts itself says the Lord. I see the word, sulfur. Some times at night darkness tried to suffocate you, and it was the smell of sulfur says the Lord. I decree peace, sanity, love, abundance by the command of Jesus."
You have to be able to stay in the race no matter how hard it gets.
Key 3 Motivated people have a Reason to go on
If things get tough and all sorts of opposition comes against you and it seems like you would be a fool to go on, you have to have a bigger reason to keep going than what the circumstances are coming against you. Success is not down to how you feel or how easy it is to advance. Success is pressing on despite the opposition and to do that you have to have a good reason to go on.
I almost gave up writing articles so I took six weeks off and recorded some videos. Now I have two more websites that I want to launch and so I want to write about 300 articles to link to the new websites. I have found my reason to go on, and so when I am finished them I should have about 900 articles published.
If you are almost quiting, search out the reason you started what you are doing. Go back the the reason you started and find the reason to go on again. Have a good think, what can you change, what can you do different, find the reason you need to go on, then get committed again and press on.
I hope this has helped you.
Of course I have many mockers who don't think I have done anything special and yet they are jealous of my success. I haveheard from other people that my mockers are proud of all that I have done,but just haven't told me that they are. If you want to stand out and have some success, get some discipline, some staying power, and have a reason to go on.
